Chronic Low Back Pain Relief Without Surgery in Kearny Mesa, CA
If you’re suffering from chronic low back pain and seeking an alternative to surgery, you're not alone. At The Spinal Decompression & Chiropractic Center of San Diego, we understand that lasting relief from chronic pain requires a deeper approach. Dr. Cassidy Boelk DC, a Certified Spinal Decompression Doctor, specializes in pinpointing and addressing the root causes of pain, which are often multifaceted and unique to each patient.
Understanding the Root Cause of Low Back Pain
Chronic low back pain is rarely a result of a single issue. Instead, it often stems from multiple underlying factors that, together, create and worsen pain over time. Identifying and addressing these root causes is critical for true, lasting relief. Some common contributors to chronic low back pain include:
Faulty Biomechanics and Movement Patterns
Many people develop pain due to improper biomechanics – the way the body moves and functions. These faulty movement patterns place excessive stress on certain parts of the spine, leading to degeneration and pain over time. Correcting these patterns through customized therapy is key to achieving sustainable relief.
Postural Faults
Poor posture is another common cause of back pain. Over time, postural imbalances put strain on spinal structures, creating misalignment and weakening muscles that should support and protect the spine. By identifying and correcting postural faults, we can help the spine function more effectively and relieve pain.
Core and Spinal Stability
Weakness in the core and spine often contributes to low back pain. Core and spinal stability training are essential to support the spine and reduce the risk of injury. At our center, we prioritize these stability exercises to build a strong foundation for pain-free movement.
Decompressing Symptomatic Disc Bulges or Herniations
For patients with disc bulges or herniations, decompression therapy is a powerful tool. Our FDA-cleared Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD) therapy is designed to relieve pressure on spinal discs, allowing them to heal and significantly reduce pain. With over 50,000 decompression sessions completed and 7 decompression machines in our San Diego office, we are California’s largest provider of this advanced treatment.
Why Patients Travel from Out of State and Country to Seek Our Expertise
Many of our patients come to us after trying numerous treatments with limited or no relief. Often, these previous therapies were limited to what we call passive treatments—approaches that provide temporary pain relief without addressing the underlying issues. Passive therapies, such as medication, injections, or basic physical therapy, may help in the short term but often fail to provide a comprehensive solution for chronic pain.
At our center, Dr. Boelk combines active and passive therapies to achieve a more thorough and effective outcome. By integrating spinal decompression with exercises to build strength, stability, and flexibility, we help patients achieve lasting relief. This comprehensive approach, focusing on both passive and active therapies, is what allows us to achieve exceptional results, even for patients with complex and longstanding pain conditions.
Our Approach: Thorough, Customized Care
Each treatment plan at The Spinal Decompression & Chiropractic Center is tailored to the individual. We start with an in-depth assessment to identify the specific combination of factors contributing to your pain. Based on this analysis, Dr. Boelk designs a treatment plan that includes:
Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression to relieve disc pressure.
Corrective Exercises to address movement patterns, biomechanics, and postural faults.
Spinal and Core Stability Training to build a strong foundation.
Targeted Mobilization Techniques to improve flexibility and range of motion.
This integrative, results-driven approach has helped many patients avoid back surgery and regain their quality of life.

"Dr. Boelk & his staff are by far the BEST at spinal decompression. I walked into his office unable to sit to do my job, where I was having to lay each day & within a couple of weeks he helped me with being able to sit again. His attention to you & the way he will make you feel is unparalleled. First of all, he has suffered from some severe back issues, so his empathy is very high. Secondly, he is extremely caring & genuinely wants to help people. I've never worked with a doctor who has cared as much and made me feel like I was his only patient before. There would be 4 people there at the same time, and he still made me feel this way. I guess I just cannot thank him enough & cannot recommend him enough. He is an angel on earth. If you visit him, please listen to him & follow his instructions. He knows what's best for you. " - Erin T, California
Rated the #1 Spinal Decompression office in San Diego for many reasons.
Here is a quick guide to finding the best office when searching for Spinal Decompression:
1. Does the office specialize In Spinal Decompression or is it just one of many multiple treatments they offer? We have seen many patients come from other offices who said they are specialists and experts in spinal decompression but only treat 3 or 4 patients a day on decompression.
2. Is the doctor or staff actually getting the patients on the treatments? Spinal Decompression is a specialized skill and requires daily decision making and protocols vary from person to person, it is not a one size fits all approach. Many patients come from different offices and inform us they were getting decompression but it was done by the staff and many times they are in pain when on the tables. The treatments should not be painful but feel good.
3. Is the doctor Certified? There are many doctors who are utilizing spinal decompression who are not certified. It is best to see someone who took the time and learned the process and is certified.
4. Do they have a good reputation and reviews that report the doctor and office and staff are looking out for the patient and there is a common theme of the doctor caring and wanting the best for their patients?
5. Experience? How long has the office been utilizing spinal decompression? How many sessions have they performed? You want to see someone who has a lot of experience and knowledge in their field when looking for spinal decompression offices.

Spinal Stenosis
Neuropathy
With true spinal decompression, we can get water, oxygen and nutrients into the disc itself while flushing out swelling and inflammation which is adding to the pain. With traction and inversion tables the spinal muscles are unable to fully relax and thus they stay somewhat activated which then prevents the discs from getting into a negative pressure and healing properly and getting rid of the pain as much as possible.
